45.A welfare state is a "concept of government in which the state plays a key role in the protectionand promotion of the economic and social well-being of its citizens. It is based on the principles
ofequality of opportunity, equitabledistribution of wealth, and public responsibility for those
unable to avail themselves of the minimal provisions for a good life. The general term may cover
a variety of forms of economic and social organization."[1] The welfare state involves a transfer
of funds from the state, to the services provided (i.e. healthcare, education) as well as directly to
individuals ("benefits"). The welfare state is funded throughredistributionisttaxationand is
often referred to as a type of"mixed economy".[3]
46.651465447.Russia pulled out of World War 1 because Lenin and the Bolsheviks had promised that they
would end Russia's involvement in the war. The Russian army could not match up to the German
army and defeat was inevitable. Politically, Lenin had to end the war because he had promised it
to the country and if he did not deliver on that promise he faced his own overthrow. The only
way he could keep the soldiers and peasants at least neutral in the political fighting was to
assure them the war would be over. Lenin tried to drag the peace negotiations out hoping
Germany would surrender, but it didn't. Germany caught on, called off the talks and resumed
hostilities. Lenin had to make a hasty retreat and sign a quick peace treaty or Germany would
have conquered Russia militarily and replaced the Bolshevik government.
Russia's involvement in the war with Germany ended on March 3, 1918 with the signing of the
Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. The Tsar was murdered on July 17, 1918, three months after the war
ended for Russia
